BRATTICE CLOTH |
B
rattice Cloth Selection
One of the most important physical characteristics of nearly any brattice cloth application concerns its tear strength. Both weight and tear strength can be altered by varying the raw material components (scrim or substrate, adhesive and film layers). Heavier does not necessarily mean stronger. The actual scrim utilized will normally have the most impact on the ultimate tear strength of each fabric.
An inexpensive brattice cloth selection does not make the choice necessarily cost-effective. Let an ABC Sales Engineer answer your ventilation questions and provide assistance in making the proper product selection to meet your specific requirements.
